Scheduled my Home Assessment for later this month. Now, my dashboard says the quote I received the other day isn't listed as accomplished. When I RAQ'd on 03/01, the Home Assessment tab was not enabled.

Just noticed that my status on the website went backwards (now no quote sent!?) and that I needed a home assessment. I got a quote at MSRP from Kline last week without a home assessment, so it was surprising to see that my quote was gone and that I had to get past the assessment before proceeding. Well, long story short, CS found the quote and reestablished it and took my request to waive home assessment also, so now I think I am in the que waiting for the proverbial 90-120 days. Lets see......that puts us out to mid summer. Bummer.

Exactly what happened with me....Now I have my quote and it says it is only good through tomorrow at Noon....thought I would have more time to think about it. Maybe the thing to do is to order the car now....can always refuse delivery when it comes in I guess.

I'm excited. Feldmann's says I was the first to accept the quote and will likely take the first delivery there. Cayenne Red SL with Zero Emission graphics.

I'm scheduling my home assessment through Aerovironment even though the GE charger has a larger capacity for charging faster when the 2013 model comes out. Googling forum posts on the GE Wattstation reveals quite a number of early issues with their device and questionable customer service to boot. I hope this changes. I'd rather have a charger that's tested and works well now with the car I'm buying and then upgrade to one with better features like the Wattstation later. The major advantage of the Wattstation is you can buy it almost anywhere.

Irony: Deciding whether to buy your green EV car charger from a company that makes drones or a company that makes bomb and missile systems.

FYI, for those wondering who to hire for the EV charger install, here's the company Feldmann's Imports hired. They're almost synonomous with solar power installs in Minnesota and now they're diving into EV charger installation.

FYI, if you're on Dakota Electric or another Great River Energy co-op, I believe they still have a few spots left for grants in the pilot Chargewise program. $500 towards charger installation costs with separately-metered offpeak power at just over 4 cents per kw/hr. That's in addition to the federal tax credit. According to the below article, a full off-peak charge from empty will only be $1.20.

I accepted the quote today and placed the order. It's getting more real all the time now.

According to Feldmann I am the 5th to accept quotes...they feel very good about where they are. I talked to Jesse on the phone this afternoon and thanked them for taking the risk in buying their own Leaf to provide test drives...a risk that appears to have paid off well for them.
